OOC and Char Creation: The Reforging of the Ring

[Silvorn]

Talk about developments in the "Reforging" and post your character profiles here. I'm still debating on starting a character; with already two characters, one in the "Cleansing" the other in the "War" it might be a little hard to manage considering my time schedule. Nonethless, now that Kenzie has taken the liberty of finally starting the RP, I thought I'd start this thread for y'all anyway.

[Kenzie]

wow thanks silvorn! ;) Hopefully you'll be able to join us.

Name: Arwen Undomiel, Evenstar to her people, and now Queen of both elves and men of the west.
Race: Elvish, but with a mortal's soul
Age: around 2000
Gender: Female
Appearence: Long dark brown hair, that falls halfway down her back. (She usualy wears it down.) Has dark brown eyes. Willowy form, with fair skin. And in likness in Beauty, to Luthien.
Background: (though i'm sure you guys already know this) she is the daughter of Elrond from Rivendell and Celebrian of Lothlorien. She went between both homes, but has never traveled farther than the distance between them. She is well read, from her father's library, but had experienced little. On one of her stays in Rivendell she fell in love with Aragorn Ellesar. They later became engaged in lothlorien and after the War of the ring they married in Gondor. Her family and most of her kin has since gone to Valinor. She is now Queen and lives with Aragorn in Minis Tirith. They have one son, and are expecting another child soon.
Weapons: Carries a long, curved elvish blade. With dark wood handle, inlaid with gold, wich flows up the blade. She has no more use for it, and it lays in a velvet case in her chamber. Though when provoked, can weild it with enough stranght to hold her own.

alright, i added a bit more, but it's all there.

[Feebeefi]

Name: Alandra
Race:Men(or womanlol)
Age: 27
Appearance: Long blonde hair and big green eyes
Background: Born and raised in Minas Tirith. She befriended Arwen when she helped her when she gave birth to Eldarion. She's know a sort of Nanny to him but a comfort for Arwen

[Melathwen]

Name: Keluviel
Race: Elf
Age: 2671
Appearance: Long, chestnut-brown hair, with large blue eyes and full rose-coloured lips. Quite tall, and has long legs.
Background: She is a Princess of the elves that live east of Rhun, which normally are not mentioned because everyone has forgotten them since they never concern themselves with anything except what happens in their realm. Keluviel forged this ring so that she can use it's power to rule her realm and make it fair(the beautiful fair). Her mother died recently and she knows her father will soon follow, and that she must then rule her people, for she has no siblings.

Name: Kelbar
Race: Elf
Age: 2348
Appearance: Taller than Keluviel, with long legs and muscled arms and torso. He has mahogany-coloured hair the same length as Legolas' (not that they have ever met and been able to compare it, I just couldn't think of any other way to describe it) and wide, green eyes.
Background: His parents are nobles of the realm of these elves (sorry, can't think of a name for it, will post it as soon as I think of it) and he has been a friend to Keluviel since he was born.
Weapons: A long bow and two knives.
Other: He likes Keluviel a lot, but is not sure if he is beginning to do more than just 'like'...

[Melathwen]

I am very sorry I didn’t ask permission to join this RPG; stupid me decided to wait until AFTER I’d posted to read the rules. *sheepish grin* But, if you don’t like it, I won’t mind at all if you delete it.

Otherwise, pm me and I’ll stay in. As to where I was going with it, I figured that if there was going to be another evil ring, there had to be at least one good ring to fight it. Thus, Keluviel’s ring. Maybe there could also be other rings? I thought last night maybe there could be another two elves and maybe the Valar send another few Maiar over to deal with the new threat, and that maybe two of them could have rings as well, because I don’t think one good ring would be powerful enough to stand against the evil ring on its own. Either Keluviel could make all the rings and the others just wear them, or each could make their own. I have decided on a name for Keluviel’s ring: Elya, Ring of Stars, and this is what the inscription on it will say:

‘I am Elya, Ring of Stars; the hand of Keluviel crafted me’

But of course, it’s in tengwar Quenya, so I have no idea what it would actually look like.

Although I still have no name for my made-up realm, (I am waiting for a translation of some words so that (hopefully) I can build one) I do now have a description for it:

A city in the trees it is, though unlike Lothlorien. These trees have very dark bark (mahogany colour), and the smallest take ten elves with their fingers just touching to reach round. However, the wood underneath the bark is the light golden colour of honey, and this makes beautiful wooden things (couldn’t think of a better word, but basically it’s furniture, houses, etc). Winding up around the trunks are ornate staircases, carved all over with flowing vines that bear star-shaped flowers (I have decided that my realm’s theme is stars and star-shapes). The branches of these trees only leave the trunk very high off the ground, but are very straight and strong, running nearly parallel to the ground. Upon these branches are built great halls and houses, all of the honey-coloured wood. Nowhere is the wood left plain, always it is carved in intricate designs of vines and flowers. Walkways extend between trees, so that one might visit all the buildings in the city without once setting foot on the ground, except the forges, which are built on the ground for safety.

Everywhere within this city light glows, the golden light of the wood, for the wood itself glows. (The carved wood, not the trees!) All things in this realm are fair, and many skills are here preserved that elsewhere have been lost to time.

[Kenzie]

Yay! Sorry I haven't been here, but there hasn't been much activity yet, but now i see that there is. (Tell any friends you have that seem interested ;) )

About the "good" rings, I agree, there should proabably be more than one. I'm not so sure that the Valar would be so ready to send maiar over quite yet, because there is no threat. Our characters don't yet even know that another ring is being made. The Valar will proabably be able to sense the evil stirring once more, so they may send the people of Middle Earth tokens, and those tokens could be the rings.... what do you think?

[Melathwen]

Yea. I didn't mean that the Valar would send Maia over right away, but eventually. I mean, the peoples of ME needed their help against Sauron, so it would make sense if they needed their help with this new threat.

Since Keluvial has already made her ring, I'm not sure the tokens thing would work. Perhaps the Valar could send her a vision, or she could sense the power stirring with her ring, because Galadriel could sense Sauron, couldn't she?

So, how many 'good' rings should there be? I think at least three, perhaps more.

[Kenzie]

Alright, yhea, i see what you mean. I like the idea of the vision, Maybe she could have the vision at night, like a dream i supose, then wake and realize it was true after sensing the power in it. Or somthing like that. kinda combining your two ideas.

So the valar could give power to your ring, then send over two others, to accompany it in the fight against the one. (I'm saying two others because three is a pretty good number I would say. Most things tend to come in three's)

Then perhaps when the situation becomes more dire Maiar could be sent over as you said. Or somthing along those lines.

[Melathwen]

Or perhaps, after her vision, Keluviel would pick two more elves and teach them to make rings similar to hers, though Elya (her ring) would be the most powerful, since it was made first. But would one of the Maia need a ring? I mean, Gandalf had one. So maybe Keluviel can't pick two. Or maybe one of them dies, and one of the Maia gets the ring of the elf that died. Should we have mortals bearing rings? Can they do that? Because the only time a mortal has borne a ring, they became ringwraiths, and we still have eight of them, I don't think we need more!

[Kenzie]

ooo great ideas!! Yhea I say we should stick with only elves bearing them. Maybe the vision can include somthing instructing her to make two more rings and find two worthy elves for them as a warning of what is to come.

Your right about the whole Maia wearing rings, that would be a bit wierd if they didn't have their own. Instead of having one of the bearer's die. (because i'm guessing that the other two bearer will be RPG players, and we don't want them to be forced to kill themselves off) the maia will just have his/her own ring and make it four.

[Melathwen]

Just because I don't like even numbers, could we have two Maia, each with their own ring? It makes sense that the Maia would not be so powerful as Gandalf, because as time passes things lose their power, so that two would be needed to do the work of one. Perhaps they coul be husband and wife, and so able to work very closely together?

What do we do if we can't get any other RPG players to play the other elves with rings? Just a thought, because it could happen.

[Kenzie]

Alright, so eventually five ringbearers, thats settled.
Now for the people with the rings. We need four people. Two elves, particulary powerful ones, and two maia. Do you think Arwen woudld have one of them? She is a ruler, well next to Aragorn that is.

If we don't have enough people. (but i'm pretty sure we'll be able to find some) we'll just have to double up on characters. ;) or dump some.

[Melathwen]

Arwen is not really an elf anymore, she gave that up to be with Aragorn, so although she isn't really mortal either, I'm not sure that would work. But perhaps one of the twins? Because they haven't gone yet, have they? Otherwise, Keluviel could just pick two powerful elves from among those in her Kingdom.

Since there were two males with rings in LotR but only one female, should we have a ratio of 3:2 females:males to even it out a bit?
I just don't like all the guys gettin everything :p

[Elfdaughter]

ooh! Baggsie being a maia!!! :grin:

[Feebeefi]

Hi guys!

Sorry but I won't be on for a bit but I would like to be part of this roleplay if that's ok.

I'm cool with anything. Rings sounds good and females having them even better lol

[Melathwen]

All these rings are going to need names. Keluviel's is called Elya, like I said, but what about the others? We're going to need to know sooner or later.

I'm guessing that the 'ya' suffix from Vilya, Nenya and Narya means 'Ring of' since Nenya-Ring of Water Vilya-Ring of Air Narya-Ring of Fire. So I think they should all end like that.

Then we will need four more different prefixes for the rings. Anyone have any ideas?

btw, Elya-Ring of Stars, just in case I haven't already said that.

[Elfdaughter]

Hm. Ring of earth, Ring of stone, Ring of light and...... OK, now I'm stuck.

[Melathwen]

Yes, they're good, but what are they in Elvish? They might not work once they're translated. :)

I'm not even sure which Elvish language the others are in, though I'm guessing it's either Sindarin or Quenya.

[Elfdaughter]

Give me three mins, and I'll translate them.

[Elfdaughter]

Ring of Earth: Mareya
Ring of Stone: Ondoya
Ring of Light: Caleya

Sorry, I don't do Sindarin - that's just in Quenya.

[Melathwen]

Were the others in Sindarin?

But would current elves be able to speak Quenya and so name their Rings in Quenya? Or would it have to be Sindarin?

I like those names, but I think they would sound better if we could take the vowels out, so they would become Marya, Ondya, Calya. I just think it sounds better and is easier to say :)

[Kenzie]

Oh yhea I see what you mean about the mortality thing. (By the way i've pmed a few people that i though might be interested.)


Hey ED!! Glad to see you here! ;) I actually think that all of those names sound pretty good. I like the Calya the best, but they all sound well enough. I'm pretty sure it was quenya actually.

[Elfdaughter]

The thing with the vowles is that in Quenya, you can't have too many constanants together, and if a suffix was added onto the word, and the vowels would be added. Apart from Caleya - the stem word ends in an e anyway.

Hi Kenzie!

[Melathwen]

Yea, I like them too, but would the elves of the Fourth Age be able to name things in Quenya if they still live in Middle-earth? I thought they all spoke Sindarin now.

About the vowels, I thought it was only three or more consonants you couldn't have together, I thought two was fine. Although it would end up being three in Ondya, but the others just have two. Unless y sometimes acts as a vowel in Quenya, like it does in English?

[Elfdaughter]

Hmm.... Well, if you remember, Gildoion could speak Quenya still. I think Quenya was still spoken, but reserved for formal occasions. rember - they were on their way bavck to Valinor - where Quenya was spoken.

Hmm.. I can't remember!!

[Melathwen]

Who is Gildoion?

Why does the fact that they are on their way back to Valinor mean that they can speak Quenya? They aren't suddenly going to learn it just because they're going there. I thought the High Elves knew Quenya, but that they all left and now only elves who just know Sindarin are left. *confused*

[Elfdaughter]

Sorry.. typo... Gildor Inglorion. No, they wouldn't have just suddenly learnt it - it was used at formal occasions - so they would have had at least a basic understanding. Remember, elves thrived in knowledge of language - it's almost certain that they would have know their own past tounges.

[Melathwen]

Oh, yes, remember that name... but not who he is. I don't have a very good memory. What'd he do?

[Elfdaughter]

He was the leader of the Elves that Frodo, sam and Piuppin met in the Fellowship - Elen sila lumenn omiteilvo....

[Melathwen]

Yep, remember now! But he was a High Elf (as Frodo says) and I thought they all passed over the Sea before the WotR, and so took Quenya with them, as the others could only speak Sindarin. *still confused, but getting clearer...*

[Elfdaughter]

Well, if theay all passed over the sea before WOTR, what's Gildor doing there?....see?

[Melathwen]

Frodo met Gildor BEFORE the WotR. He was just leaving the Shire. The War was many months later, after he'd been to Rivendell and Lothlorien. The War was the battles of Helm's Deep, the Pelennor Fields, and the short fight before the Black Gates. There was no war while Frodo was leaving the Shire.

[Saruman]

Name: Curunir/Saruman

Race: Maia spirit

Background: We all know how he died; after that, to quote a PM:


I have an idea for (surprise, surprise) Saruman.
His spirit eventually obtains a physical form, and he takes charge of one of the evil factions of Middle Earth (perhaps the Misty Mountains, or the Haradrim). The goodies learn that he has found a physical form, but he uses his voice to deceive them into thinking that he has changed. The goodies do not know that Saruman is in control of an army, which he uses to great advantage, 'staging' events to further his plans for domination. These events undermine the reputation of Aragorn among the people, and, gradually, Saruman gains sympathy and popularity. This strengthens him, and his new staff. Of course, there will be a point when everyone finds out what he's doing, and he'll flee.

[Melathwen]

Good idea. I've seen it somewhere else, and there he needed a physical item (like Sauron and the One Ring) and both (him and the item) needed to be destroyed for Saruman to be destroyed... how about something like that here?

[Saruman]

Perhaps there could be an object that he previously had forged in secret?

[Elfdaughter]

Mel - actually, the WOTR was the great conflict at the end of the Third Age, named for the One Ring and the importance this had in the final outcome. The war was fought between the Free (a loose alliance of Elves and Men led by the Wise) and Sauron the Dark Lord, with Saruman as a third power based in Orthanc. The Last alliance - well before Frodo's time, was part of the WOTR.

Sauron at all times held the military advantage in the War, due to his overwhelming forces; not only Orcs and Trolls, but Men of Harad and the East. His main immediate object was the overthrow of Gondor, his near neighbour and the strongest of his enemies. He had such forces at his command, though, that he was able to fight the war on many fronts, also attacking Dale, Erebor and the Wood-elves in the far north, and Lórien from his secondary stronghold at Dol Guldur. There can be no doubt that, had the Wise not achieved possession of the Ring, Sauron would ultimately have been victorious.

Saruman had claimed alliance with both the Wise and the Dark Lord, but was ultimately fighting for his own ends. In alliance with the Dunlendings, and having Orcs at his own command, his objective was the defeat of Rohan. Until late in the War, he held the advantage, defeating Rohan twice at the Battles of the Fords of Isen. He had not considered the Ents of Fangorn in his plans, however, and when they were roused to anger at his actions, they brought about his downfall.

The policy of the Wise was based around the Quest of Mount Doom; a company of nine under the leadership of Gandalf travelled from Rivendell with the One Ring, with the hope of reaching Orodruin in Mordor and there destroying it. Because the Ring held much of Sauron's native power, they realised that in unmaking it, they would also defeat its creator. Against all hope, the Quest was achieved by Frodo Baggins, and Sauron defeated.

The War did not end with the defeat of Sauron, for Saruman fled northward after the capture of Orthanc, and established himself in the Shire, bending the Hobbits to his will by threat of violence and the persuasive power of his voice. The return of Frodo Baggins and his companions led to a rebellion by the Shire-hobbits, in which Saruman was killed by his servant, Gríma Wormtongue.

Although Sauron and Saruman were both defeated, the Wise did not achieve total victory. With the destruction of the One Ring, the Three Rings that had maintained the realms of the Elves in Middle-earth lost their power, and the Elves began to leave Middle-earth for the Undying Lands. Then, the WOTR was over.

Sorry....I didn't mean for that to turn into a history lesson!!!

[Melathwen]

Yes, something like that. Just something that he fixed his spirit to so that he didn't pass out of the world and could come back... like Sauron.


Hey, thanks for telling me. I didn't know that (obviously). What I meant was, that all the High Elves passed before Sauron was defeated, and now there are none left who know Quenya. To get back to the original question. :)

I am assuming, of course, that this takes place in the Fourth Age. No one has actually said it does, so I'm just checking. :)

[Elfdaughter]

Hmm...a sort of anchor, you mean?

[Melathwen]

Generally, yes. I mean, Sauron needed one, and Saruman is less powerful!

[Elfdaughter]

Another ring?

[Melathwen]

Whatever, I don't think it was ever decided in the place I heard of it... so I guess it's up to Saruman or Kenzie to decide, as creators of the character/thread.

btw, can't someone post some of this stuff in the RPG?!?!?! I'm getting bored just talking about it, can't we have some action!?!?!

[Saruman]

I'll make a post, but I have not decided what 'the object' will be... lol
Which evil faction should I take control of?

[Kenzie]

i would proabably start with the lowest, like orcs, they'd be the easiest to ensnare I would say.

[Farielle of Lorien]

Reposting info...

NAME: Naethwen of Lorien
GENDER: Female
RACE: Elf
PARENTS: Laure of Lorien (mother) and a father that no one but her mother knows the identity of.
AGE: 2000 (I'm seeing a pattern here, guys)
APPEARANCE: Tall and slim. She moves gracefully and silently, like all elves. She has long, silky-straight golden hair, which is worn elaborately twisted with tiny braids when in Lorien or Rivendell. When she rides she wears muted green leggings and hunting shirts, much like the patrolers and scouts. Also for riding and traveling, she wears her hair in one long braid twisted about her head. When she rides she wears muted green leggings and hunting shirts, much like the patrolers and scouts. She has large, deep blue eyes and a beautiful face. When in Lorien and Rivendell, she wears gowns and a twisted silver coronet (brow band).
PERSONALITY: She learned early in her life that many were weak and succeptable to beauty, and she naturally began to use it to her advantage. But she is not malicious and spiteful in any way. She is light hearted and sweet, but ca be reserved and quiet at times.
JEWELRY: She wears a necklace of a rearing horse made of mithril on a long thin chain made of the same. It was left to her by her father. She also wears a silver ring with interwoven, twisted pieces of silver over a deep blue stone.
WEAPONS: She carries a beautiful elven bow with her always, and also has an elven dagger and a shortsword.
SKILL WITH SAID WEAPONS: very skilled, though more so in archery. She trained with Haldir while in Lorien.
HISTORY: She grew up in Lorien, learning skills with weaponry and training her senses in the field as a gaurd and patroller of the border. Her mother was a second cousin and confidante of Galadriel, and the little family was high in rank. When she was about 900 years old, she traveled to Rivendell, where she grew in knowledge under Elrond. She also became good friends with the lady Arwen while there. She also met her lover, Thalion, who died in battle during the war for Middle Earth. She only traveled to the realm of men for the coronation of Aragorn and Arwen's wedding.
SIDE: good

Yes, it is long...

[Kenzie]

ahh, thanks a bunch farielle. Our OCC thread keeps changing i know lol , but now it's here to stay ;) lol

[Elfdaughter]

*ED's getting slightly confused.* OK, can anyone tell me if you need a certain character, or shall I stick with Lachametar?

[Saruman]

You can if you want.
Though I need a character to be a 'spokesperson' for Saruman, I could fill in for him myself.

[Elfdaughter]

Since I'm relatively new to RPG's, I think I'll stick with the same character. OK, Lachametar it is. *Runs off to find the last profile she posted for her..*

Name: Lachametar. Lachametar meaning 'brave warrior', she certaintly lives up to it.

Race: Mirkwood Elf

Skin colour: fair, though she spends most of her time outside, hunting and training.

Age: has never revealed it to anyone - older than Legolas at any rate!

Parents: Her mother was a Maia of nature and her father was a mirkwood Elf.

Appearance: Tall, blond hair, blue eyes.

Weapons: She is skilled in bow dagger and sword, and she taught Legolas all he knows.

Legolas's mother, she fell in love with Thranduil at a young age. Her parents were killed by Sauron's orcs leaving her orphaned, and since then, she took a vow to avenge them, and has spent her long life dedicated to training, and hunting for orcs. She is strong and lithe, and Legolas learnt all he knows from her.

[Melathwen]

I thought you wanted to be a Maia? Because Lachametar can't be a Mirkwood Elf and a Maia, even if her mother was a Maia and her father was an elf, she'll have to choose. Also, if this is taking place in the Fourth Age, shouldn't Legolas' mother be dead? May be wrong here, but I always thought she was.

We still need another elf to bear a ring, if no one wants to be him/her, I'll do it.

And two Maiar.

[Elfdaughter]

mm. True. OK, scrap that!! Sorry, that was copied and pasted, anyway. Right, try again: (I kept the name though, it'd be easier since I've already posted in the RPG)

Name: Lachametar. Lachametar meaning 'brave warrior', she certaintly lives up to it.

Race: Maia (of nature)

Skin colour: fair, though she spends most of her time outside.

Age: has never revealed it to anyone, but is thought to be as old as the world.

Parents: Unknown - she came into this world with the Valar at the dawn of time.

Appearance: Almost tree-like, she is tall, with long silver hair reaching down her back. Her eyes are grey, and kind, but with a will of iron behind them.

Weapons: She is skilled in bow, dagger and sword.

The bearer of Marya, the ring of Earth, Lachametar is the Maia of nature, and so bears affility with all creatures. Her voice, when she speaks, is like water in a brook, and the sound of her song is like the nightingale. She is slow to anger, but swift to take revenge if danger threatens. Though she loves, and protects, all nature, the stag is loved best by her.

[Melathwen]

Nice! Why don't you be the Handmaiden of Yavanna, cos she is the Valar closest to nature :). Then you can have a good reason to be in Valinor. ;) (The Maia haven't been sent to ME yet.)

Do you think Keluviel would be aware of Lachametar? I mean, Keluviel is the strongest of the ringbearers because she was the first, but if Lachametar is in Valinor, would that make a difference?

By becoming a Maia, you have also solved the difficulty of the language. It would not be Sindarin in Valinor.

[Elfdaughter]

hmm. Good point. OK, handmaiden of Yavanna she is! Hmm... I honestly don't know.

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

I just wanted to pop in and say that it is possible to be a Maia and an Elf at the same time. Luthien did it until she choose to become mortal... :)

[Melathwen]

Uh, how?

I mean, you can be descended both ways, but you cannot be both things in nature. I don't think.

We'll have to come to a decision about that. I had a rather interesting post concerning it, but then my darn computer went and killed it. :angry:

[Elfdaughter]

Well, I've done a post with Lachametar in Valinor, as Yavanna's handmaiden now.

[Melathwen]

Good good :)

So, does Keluviel sense Lachametar or not?

And what are we going to do about those other elves, and the last Maia?

[Kenzie]

Mel- you don't need to take up one of the bearers quite yet. I mean, we're not very far, we should give people a chance to find the thread first. It's just that too many characters played by one person can somtimes be confusing. ;) But your right, we do really need to find some more people.

Thers still some people that haven't replied to my PM's yet. So theres always that chance as well.

[Saruman]

I need a name for this 'spokesperson'. This character, so I am planning, is captured by goblins and taken to Saruman, who blackmails him into helping Saruman seem good among the people. It needs to be someone who is goo at heart, and trusted by the people.

[Melathwen]

I'm terrible at making names, so no help there, I'm afraid. But your plan for the character sounds good, I like it. :)

I want to change Keluviel's age, since I think it a little unlikely that the King and Queen of a realm would live so long as King and Queen without producing an hier, should anything untoward happen. So, as of today, Keluviel is 5638. Her age hasn't actually been mentioned anywhere other than my first post with her character Bio, so I hope this does not create problems for anyone. Tell me if it does. :)

[Tirithel]

Hey all...I've been reading through this thread and have become curious as to where is this taking place. ME or Valinor? Or both? :huh:

Reason for said wondering is that I was also wondering if I could join, he he. I have a few I'd like to include in this, based on where it's located.

You can if you want.
Though I need a character to be a 'spokesperson' for Saruman, I could fill in for him myself.

Saruman, I have a character I'd like to resurrect, with some subtle changes if necessary. Here she is, with a bit of self indulgent exposition included ;) :

"So Sauron found her, without memory of or alliance to any, wandering unafraid through lands which no man had dared to tread. And he filled her heart with lies, and doing so persuaded her into his service, calling her Mornie, which is Darkness, referring both to what remained of her past and what lay in her future."

Mmm Hmm literary genius lol

Name: Mornie
Race: human
Weapons: two long elvish knives and a sword of Gondorian origins(was found with them and for some reason, unknown to even her, would not be parted with them). Innate skill with both, and further trained in Sauron's army
History: None. Mad case of amnesia and was duped years ago into Sauron's service, as implied above.
Characteristics/Features: Tall, dark. Near black, short wild hair and piercingly bright blue eyes. Not very feminine, for she was brought into Sauron's service as a warrior, not a woman. She wears leather pants and tunic, over which a short mail shrit and over all a long black cloak. dark skinned and strong. Because of her build, her hair and her attire, she is often taken for a man until her face is shown. To the knowledgable, her features are actually descendant of the house of Beor. She is proud, cunning and merciless, and has become a trusted spy and servant of the dark army, about the rank of Liutenant, and perhaps could be acting as an emissary or an agent for him.

So, yeah, this was made up a long time ago for a different RP that would have taken place before this one. Since tehcnically she is mortal, perhaps, being filled with evil, her life has transcended mortality and though not dead, she has dwindled to a hateful spirit of malice. Yada yada yada, Saruman resurrects her, yada yada yada, she takes on human form again but with an immortal twist, yada yada yada WATCH YO' BACK! lol

What sayeth y'all? :grin:

EDIT: New info for Mornie's 'alterego' Morwen:
Sister: Miriel
Brother: Maglor

[Saruman]

Very good! But remember to make it so that your character has the people's complete trust. Well, she is a 'trusted spy' anyway, so that works. lol

[Melathwen]

Yea, but trusted by whom? *sinister smile*

Well, anway, the character looks great, but if you try to insinuate her with the elves, it won't work, because out here in -no name- we don't like humans much. Well, actually, we don't even know they exist, so sheltered are we here. JK. But we don't like humans, we have very little to do with them -none- and would not take kindly to having one in our realm. So go somewhere else. :)

Yes, the eventual story is taking place in ME, but Lachametar is currently in Valinor (being a Maia and all). I think everyone except her is in ME. I certainly am.

Someone PLEASE give me a name for my realm. A description can be found on the first page of this thread, in my second post. A name in Elvish, please, but I'd kinda like the translation. I don't really mind if it's Quenya or Sindarin, but I think that Quenya would be more fitting. Thank you to anyone who can think of one. :)

[Nibinaraniel]

Nibinaraniel Yavannawen
Elf
Unknown Age
Legolas' sister and a great fighter. She has a frail-looking body, but she is very strong. Her beauty rivals that of Galadriel's.

[Elfdaughter]

OK, whaen shall I bring Lachametar over to ME? She's starting to get restless.....

Oh, mel - how about Elosto? Star city? (or Elenosto if you don't want to use the poetic form of 'star') (or even Elennor - star dwelling)

[Kenzie]

I personaly like Elenosto best

Welcome Nib, glad to see you here! ;)

Mel- She's suposed to be eventually trusted by the men of the west. She is the 'spokesperson' for Saruman who is trying to gain their hearts for his own evil purposes.

Wow everyone's showing up in Gondor today. Perhaps Nib, you could tuck your hair behind your ears. Then the gaurd seeing that you're elven let you pass.

[Melathwen]

I like Elennor. Thank you so much, Elfdaughter. Elennor it is. I like the translation of that best, too. Is it Sindarin or Quenya?

Interesting things have been happening. *scurries off to post*

[Elfdaughter]

Quenya. I don't know any Sindarin... yet.... lol

Umm... so, when, and how, shall Lachametar get from Valinor to ME?

[Kenzie]

Well, she would proabably go by boat. I can't see another way.
She proabably won't travel to ME for a little while. Wait until there is a more pronounced evil to fight first, but soon. Perhaps you can post a meeting of the Valar in which they decide whether the growing darkness should be adressed or left alone. Yavanna can then maybe ask your character after the meeting whether you would be willing to go, or your character could volenteer herself.

just different ideas....

[Elfdaughter]

Thanks Kenzie! I'll do that.

[Elfdaughter]

phew!! OK, long one posted!!

[Tirithel]

Yes, and a good one too, ED! Explained a lot, actually. :thumbs:

Yea, but trusted by whom? *sinister smile*

Well, anway, the character looks great, but if you try to insinuate her with the elves, it won't work, because out here in -no name- we don't like humans much. Well, actually, we don't even know they exist, so sheltered are we here. JK. But we don't like humans, we have very little to do with them -none- and would not take kindly to having one in our realm. So go somewhere else. :)

Yes, the eventual story is taking place in ME, but Lachametar is currently in Valinor (being a Maia and all). I think everyone except her is in ME. I certainly am.


Naw, she wouldn't be in Valinor anyways, cuz she is mortal in essense. I'm thinking that a wayward traveller might show up at the gates of the White City and be accepted with hospitality into the palace of the king. Mornie can put on quite a show, if need be. ;) But for this to work (and I say this as somewhat of a disclaimer because people in RP's sometimes make their characters all-wise, based on what they know from the OOC threads) everyone needs to be fooled as to Mornie's innocense and intentions for a long time before she is revealed as a spy.

So, if that's cool with y'all, I need to have a rendezvous and a chat with my new master and see what's up. :grin: Before I can post. :)

[Kenzie]

As long as Mornie doesn't show up in minas tirith right away. I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment. ;) But a great idea Tir. I'm looking forward to it.

Your welcome ED ;)

[Melathwen]

Just to let you know, I have exams this week and may not be able to be on a whole lot. I don't know how much revising I'll get around to doing, or how much other hwk I'll have, but probably a lot, so I'll be pretty busy. Just move things on and I'll catch up. There's not really much Keluviel and Kelbar can do until the evil grows, anyway.

[Elfdaughter]

Lachametar can't do much, either.

[Melathwen]

No, I suppose not. But you could introduce another Maia who will go with her to ME. After all, I thought we decided that there would be two. Or an existing member could have the second Maia, and we could have someone else interact with you? Just ideas, but hey, use them if you want :grin:

[Elfdaughter]

hmmm..... OK....

*thinks*

Maethorvel

Race: Maia (of light)

Skin colour: fair, though he spends most of his time outside.

Age: has never revealed it to anyone, but is thought to be as old as the world.

Parents: Unknown - he came into this world with the Valar at the dawn of time.

Appearance: He is tall, broad and strong, and his eyes and hair are pure gold.

Weapons: he is skilled in bow, dagger and sword.

The bearer of Caleya, the Ring of Light, Maethorvel is the Maia of light, and is closely affilliated with Lachametar. They are both strongwilled, but whilst Lachametar is of a calmer nature, Maethorvel is quick to temper.

[Melathwen]

Nice character, ED! Now all you have to do is introduce him into the RPG :grin:

[Elfdaughter]

Thanks! I though Earth and Light would go well together... Yip! I'm off to do that in a bit...

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

hey kenzie asked me to join so yes i shall, I want to wait a bit though until I do because for once i would like to be a gondorian person.

i have already spoken to kenzie about it and she said to put it here, when the ring is reforged sauron would invade the lands and take them over so i thought that my guy would live in minas tirith (which would be occupied by orcs) and then my guy could go on to create a resistance and fight from within.

[Melathwen]

Sounds good, Legolas.

Since there are no more elves forthcoming, I will create another ringbearer that Keluviel can find on her journey. Profile:

Name: Melathwen

Age: 9305 (born in the First Age)

Heritage: Distant cousin of Elwe, not very important parents, but her age now gives her great standing in Middle-earth, at least among the elves.

Appearance: Tall, with long golden hair that reaches past her waist. It is wavy, much the same as Galadriel's, but a much deeper gold. Her eyes are wide; deep blue like a spring sky at twilight and framed with long, dark lashes. Her skin is very pale, and she is incredibly slender but very strong. Usually wears a long dress with belled sleeves and a silver belt.

Weapons: Long bow (almost her own height), quiver of arrows (obviously), two long knives with dark-wood handles, inlaid with ivory patterns and a sword, a little shorter than Narsil, slightly curved with a hilt of mithril. It was forged in the First Age, and has a large crystal in the hilt, but no other decoration, except the blue and gold traces customary of First Age blades. Her knives have similar blades, and were also forged around the same time, though a little later than the sword.

Horse: will be given one as a gift from somebody, but I have no name for it, so any suggestions would be welcome.

Ring: Will eventually bear Melya, the Ring of Love, and will be third in power. (Keluviel is first, then Lachametar, if everyone is happy with that. Keluviel is most powerful purely because she was the first.)

Right. If you have any problems with Mel, please pm me. :grin:

[Elfdaughter]

Sounds good, Mel! And welcome, Legolas!

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

ill creat my dude.

Name: (can't think of one)
Age: 19
race: gondorian
Looks: clean shaven shortish hair dirty blond hair and turqiose eyes, tall well built bloke who looks younger than what he is.
background: He was sent to learn from an elder of the city, with a group of other teens like himself both male and female, they have learnt the art of making weapons and know the lore of the land (eqivilent to a uni student) when the orcs invade gondor it doesn't take long until the armies surrender the city to the orcs, and the gondorians, those that survived are forced to live in the lwest level of the city, my guy and his group of freinds (those being thoese that he studied with) build up and uprisng of the people.

[Kenzie]

sounds good guys!
Alrighty, i'm not going to be able to post much for the rest of the week. Between updating the news on the front page, school, and rehearsing for a play, (and reading a really awsome book ;) ) i'm just way to busy. I should be back up to speed by saterday or sunday though ;)

[Tirithel]

i have already spoken to kenzie about it and she said to put it here, when the ring is reforged sauron would invade the lands and take them over so i thought that my guy would live in minas tirith (which would be occupied by orcs) and then my guy could go on to create a resistance and fight from within.

*A hand flails violently in the back of the room*

OOH! OOOOOH! QUESTION! Is Sauron coming back? Cuz if this is after the WotR then he would be destroyed, but, if he is coming back, then he would presumably be teaming with Saruman who has also returned, but at the end of the WotR they were enemies (as Saruman had betrayed Sauron).

That said, is Sauron to be involved?

And PS, re Mornie's first appearance. Nothing happening there as of yet. I plan to take a bit of time to reach Gondor, to give Arwen and company a chance to settle. Hope ya like it!

[Wilwarin]

Hey there guys, I know you have never seen me here before. But Nib asked me to come play, so here I am. I talked with Kenzie and told her my ideas for a character. She really likes them and told me to post them here. So here is the bio for my character.

Birth name: Harthad, son of Narugon

Other names: Eithan Rochon

Race: Man — One of the Dunedain, decendant of the House of Stewards.

Age: 76, though he looks to be in his mid thiries. He tells his true age to no one.

Appearance: Tall and well-built with nearly blond hair and a slight beard. Wears worn-out traveling clothes and a long dark-green cloak.

Weapons: Bow and arrows, sword, and a hunting knife that was a gift from his dear friend.

Horse: Daerind, a black stallion from the line of Shadowfax. Eithan has owned Daerind since he was a foal (nine years) and they have never been appart.

Languages learned: Fluent in Sindarin and Rohiric. Knows some Quenya and a little Dwarvish.

History: Formally a Ranger of Gondor. Served under Denethor and then King Elesar. Was banished from Gondor twelve years before by the King. He has wandered the lands to the East and North since then. Wherever Men dwell he is scorned and they named him Eithan Rochan "Scorned Rider". In his travels he has acquired a few tag-alongs, mainly criminals, who share the same lonely life. Three other men and a Dwarf. They have a camp in the mountains west of the Sea of Rhûn. Eithan spends his days spying out the land around Mirkwood and Mordor, waiting for a chance to prove his loyalty to his king once again.


OK that was long. I'm not sure yet why he was banished from Gondor. I was thinking that it could have been a false acusation, or maybe an exagerated one. He is very loyal to Gondor. Maybe you guys can help me with ideas.
Kenzie also had the idea that he could be the character that discovers that Mornie and Saruman are up to no good, since we don't have anyone to do that yet. She figured my character would be someone mysterious and could figure or overhear these kind of things out (Hey that was almost a direct quote! lol).

Anyway, so what do you guys think?

PS. If anyone would like to play any of Eithan's friends, either one of the men or the Dwarf, just let me know. Otherwise I will play all of them, though it wold be more fun if someone else did.

[Elfdaughter]

Hey, that's cool Wil!!

Erm... just to let you know that Lachametar and Maethorvel are just about to set off - but I reckon they'd take a bit of time getting to ME anyway. Plus I want to build the relationship up between them slightly.

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Okay...Since Wil wants a person to play one of her character's band of Miscreants...I'm joining. :p

I'll come up with the character tonight or tomorrow... :)

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

can somone please help me find a name for my dude? cause I want to post somthing in the rpg just to Introduce my Character.

[Wilwarin]

Here's some ideas Leggy.

Tarias "toughness"

Maethor "warrior"

Tathor "a willow tree"

Turgallon "heroic heart"

If you don't like any of those I can give you more.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

ooh they are good, I'll go with Tarias

I go edit my post, please have a look.

[Wilwarin]

Very nice Leggy :thumbs:

If anyone would like to use the other names for their characters please feel free.

I still need a reason why my character was banished. I can't seem to figure out anything good.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

maybe Denethor was just having a moan! lol

i need to get recruiting as I need fellow gondorians to be apart of the uprising.

[Melathwen]

Wilwarin, can you give me a name for Mel's horse? I know she doesn't have it yet, but I hope to give it to her soon. And please, ideas from anyone else too :)

Well. I'm going to Gondor soon, but should I immediately be able to see the King, or would it take time? Ideas are needed :grin:

[Wilwarin]

What's your horse's color and gender?

[Melathwen]

Female, and she will be a clear honey colour, with a pure white mane and tail. Very fast, though not descended from Shadowfax, she is related to Mearas, though not one herself.

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

I need a ëpesse of sorts for my character... :) Here's a basic profile...I might edit more info in later, but I doubt it.


Name: Turgallon (Heroic heart)
Race: Half-Elven (his father), half-Gondorian (his mother)
Age: around 25
Weapons: A short sword in the Gondorian style, also a Ithilen Bow, the only tie he has to his past
Hair: Similar to Eomer's in texture and length, but closer to Haldir's in color (due to his father's bloodline)
Eyes: Pale Grey
Clothing: Hunter Green clothing, in the style of Ithilen Rangers. Black cloak, with red details along the edges.
Jewelry: None
Skin: Slightly tan
Scars: None that are visible when he is clothed.
Personality: Usually quiet, very withdrawn when around strangers. Very task-oriented.
Short Bio: He was born in Gondor, but left after his mother was killed in a building collapse when he was around 12. He wandered in Ithilen for a few months, and was inducted as a Ranger by Faramir. Turgallon was eventually forced out of the guard because he caused the death of another Ranger (by accident). Wandered in the wilderness for a couple of months, and eventually met Eithan near the mountains.

[Melathwen]

Very nice, Dawn. I can't wait to see him introduced. One question; who is Eithan?

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Eithan is Wilwarin's character. :)

Thank you Melath...

[Melathwen]

Ah, yes. It wasn't his first name, so I didn't register it.

Well, the OOC is growing very fast, but the RPG is not keeping up ;) . Someone please post there!!!!! lol

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

I posted an introduction to my dude, should I post more or should I wait until somthing happens?

[Melathwen]

It's up to you. You can introduce him to some of the other characters, or you can wait and hope someone else does that for you. With so many new characters, that is entirely possible :)

Would it be an idea to have a separate Char Creation thread for this RPG, so that newcomers don't have to read through the whole OOC to find out what our characters are like? I just think it may be easier if they are all in one place and not scattered among the pages of an ever-growing OOC :grin:

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

my guy is in Minis tirith on his way to the city eldar.

[Tirithel]

I'M SO BLOODY CONFUSED! Somebody help the struggling Tirithel out, PLEASE! Did Kelbar and Keluviel start out in Valinor or in ME?

[Wilwarin]

I believe they started out in ME. In the East on the other side of the Sea of Rhûn. At least, that's what I gathered.

Dawn, I like your character!

Mel, here are some ideas for your horse's name:
Malthen "golden"
Glauren "golden light"
Anvronia "long-enduring"
I can think of others if you don't like any of these.

I agree that we should make a new thread just for character profiles. It would make it a lot easier to read them without all the otherr stuff in the way.

[Tirithel]

Ah! *suffocating hug to Wil* Thankee! I thought they were in Valinor and they were talking about going West and I'm like "You're already west- go EAST!" and they kept going west and GAAAAAHH! lol You can imagine my frustration...:grin:

[Wilwarin]

*Pries herself away from Tirith* You're welcome lol I see why you were so confused!

Dawn, now would be a good time to indroduce Turgallon. Eithan is preparing to leave to spy out the lands of Men. I think Turgallon should try to talk him in to letting him go along, don't you think?

[Wilwarin]

Hey all, I have decided I want to play one of Eithan's friends too. I had the Dwarf in my last post in RP. I like him, so I want to play him.
Were we going to creat a new thread for character profiles? Until then I will just post it here.

Name: Gónin son of Gúndi

Race: Dwarf

Age: 59

Appearance: A typical Dwarf. Long reddish brown hair and beard, both braided. Wears clothing similar to Gimli's, plus a dark green cloak, also a helmet when he goes into battle.

Weapons: One single-bladed axe, which is his favorite; one double-bladed axe, and two throwing axes. Carries a bow as well, but uses it mainly for hunting. Would rather use an axe in battle. Also carries a hunting knife.

Other personal effects: A long-stemmed pipe that never leaves his person.

Horse: Prefers to walk, but will ride on a horse behind someone else. Often rides with Eithan on Daerind.

History: Born in the Iron Hills. His family is not well known, nor very important. Gónin was ridiculed from a very young age because he loved the open sky better than the caverns where his people lived. To make matters worse, he was not very skilled in the metalcraft of his kin. Gónin took to wandering the land, staying out for months at a time. Whenever he went back home his people treated him like a stranger. So he would stay out even longer. Until one day he decided to never go back. He took to thieving to stay alive during the winter, and soon was not welcome in many villages of Men. After three years alone he met Eithan Rochon and decided to join his little group of outcasts.


I think I will have Gónin talk Eithan into letting him come along on the journey too. Then we can have a team of three misfits trying to prove their worth.

[Elfdaughter]

lol...poor Tiri!! No, the only ones in Valinor are Lachametar and Maethorvel, but they've just left for ME.

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Wil: An excellent idea. Will post soon. :)

Although it seems hard to dig through an OOC thread to find character profiles, it's not that bad. :p If a person wants to join, then they should read the OOC thread, and the RPG anyways.

[Melathwen]

Yes, but it just keeps growing. I didn't mean that they should just read the profiles and then not the OOC, but it will separate the information and make it easier to take it in, if all the profiles are in the same place and then discussion in another. It also makes it easier if one of us wants to sheck back later to find a detail about our character that we have forgotten. I have already done that at least three times, and it would have been much easier if I had not had to dig through here. Because I cannot remember the page numbers of where various things are posted, and you cannot access all pages very easily.

Well, that was long. :)

Right, I think the Valar should send Keluviel's vision tonight. So, she will soon know that evil is stirring, and then the fourth ring must be made. We still need the fifth.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

I have a question; how long is it since the war of the ring was over?

[Wilwarin]

I do agree about the profile thread. I think we should do it.

About my characters (and Dawn's), What do you guys think should happen to them once they reach the lands of Men? Should they go to Ggondor or somewheere else? What should they discover? I figured I should ask first before posting anything. Eithan and his group are going to be leaving pretty soon.

[Melathwen]

It is twenty years since the War. Says in the very first post :)

I think they should go to Gondor. That is where most of the stuff will be happening, I am assuming.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

Ah good that means my guy was conceived during it!! how cool!!

[Melathwen]

If you like that kind of thing *directs wierd look at Legolas* :)

Well, I have just posted a very long post. Not sure what to do now.

Wilwarin, I liked your names, but could I have a few more options? I'm not sure any of them really suit the horse I have in mind :)

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

nice post! :)

I need somone to interact with.

My dude and the people he is with are rich families in Minis Tirith as only they would probably recieve an education.

[Wilwarin]

Mel, could you give me some ideas for meanings? That would make it a lot easier. It's hard to just make up a name without knowing what you really want.

[Melathwen]

Sorry. Yea, well, uh, something like....

Golden Wind

Golden Horse

Golden Love

Falcon

Yea. Something like those :) I think, that in English, at least, I like Golden Wind the best. But I have no idea if the words 'golden' and 'wind' make a good name in Sindarin. Oh, yea, dunno if I mentioned it, but the name should be Sindarin. I don't think Mel speaks Quenya, at least, not anymore :)

[Wilwarin]

OK, here's what I came up with.

Gwaevallen = "golden wind" [gwy-VAHL-len] (gwy rhymes with "why")
Rovallen = "golden horse" [roh-VAHL-len]
Melvallen = "golden love" [MEL-vahl-len]

I can't find any Sindarin word for "falcon"

Here are a couple others I came up with:

Faevallen = "golden spirit" [fye-VAHL-len] (fye rhymes with "hi")
Malhiria = "flowing gold" [mall-HEER-ee-ah]

I hope one of these works! lol

[Melathwen]

I love Malhiria! Thank you so much! I love the name, and the translation! Beautiful! Thank you, Wil!

Well then, needless to say, Mel's horse (when she gets it, which I hope won't be long) will be called Malhiria. Hope you all like it! :)

[Wilwarin]

Well good! I'm glad I went that extra step then. I liked that one better ws well. :)

OK, Mel said that Eithan's group should go to Gondor, I agree. But what should happen when they get there. I do think that something should happen to Eithan, since he is entering Gondor on pain of death, though of course I don't wan't him to die ;). Who should they encounter once they get there? It would be nice to have this figured out by then, that way any of the characters could write about it when the time comes. Also, should anything happen on the way there?
Any ideas guys?

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

You're the genius Wil. :p

I'm just following your lead for now.

[Wilwarin]

Yes, well, as long as I don't end up being a blind leader lol
Seriously though, should this group come in contact with other characters that have already been in the story? I'm guessing they probably will. Should they encounter something evil? I really don't have much inspiration at this point. Anyone else have any ideas?

Sorry if I seem pestering. It's just that I'm new to RP and I don't really know how the story is supposed to progress. So please pardon my myriad questions. :p
I'll shut up now.

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

It's always a good thing to ask questions. :p

I think the trio should go to Minas Tirith...and met Tarias there after the siege and capture of the city.

[Wilwarin]

OK. That sounds like a long time in coming. So far there aren't any armies, are there?

Oh! They could meet Faramir in Ithilian. Maybe Eithan could try to explain his reasons for coming back, but Faramir thinks he's flipped his wig or something. So he could arrest Eithan and take him to Minas Tirith. Maybe it could be up to Turgallon and Gónin to try and get him back.

Does Turgallon have a horse?

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Well, in what I just posted, he does...but no name or anything yet.

Turgallon would get in trouble too...remember, he was kicked out of Gondor for causing a death. :evil:


This could get interesting......

[Wilwarin]

I can just imagine a Dwarf trying to save two men from the Minas Tirith jail! lol

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

lol

That'll be very interesting...To say the least.

[Tirithel]

PAGING SARUMAN...PAGING SARUMAN:

YOUR EVIL MINION IS AT THE FRONT DESK AND AWAITING YOU. (Blue light special on toilet paper, Aisle Three!) lol

Anywho, Saruman, I think that if this were actually happening, Mornie would most likely make for Mordor, since she originally worked for Sauron and all. (BTW, I never heard, is Sauron going to be involved in this or not?) Either you need to be there waiting for her or you need to get telepathic up in here and talk to her or something cuz otherwise, she won't know where to be or who to serve or what to do. Thanks! :grin:

Lemme know, I'm off to get in on that TP special. ;)

[Wilwarin]

I don't think Sauron should come back. It seems like that would be unlikely since his spirit was attached to the Ring and the Ring was destroyed. I like the idea of Saruman coming back in spirit form though. Maybe still connected to his staff. Or wait, was Saruman's staff broken? I can't remeber.

[Saruman]

I thought that it could be a second staff, but it could be anything; a vial, a crystal, whatever.

Okay Titithel, I'll do that. lol

[Wilwarin]

How would his spirit be attached to it though? Shouldn't it be his old staff, since it was something he actually used? I just figured that one of the reasons he was able to come back was because his spirit was still attached to his old staff. Ah well, he's your character, I supposed you can decide. :p

[Saruman]

He would have made his second staff (in secret), and, since his first was snapped, he can't really use it. lol

[Wilwarin]

Ah, OK, I suppose that makes sense.
But where is this staff? Would it be in the Shire? That's where he was last before he got killed. Or maybe someone took it some place else?

[Saruman]

He would not have wanted the ents to know about it, so he would probably have hidden it in Orthanc before he left the tower,back in the war of the Ring.

[Melathwen]

Yea, I agree. I don't think it makes much difference what the object is. I mean, to be able to come back he must have attached his spirit to it before he was killed by Wormtongue, so that's no problem. Just say he did it, foreseeing that this may happen. As a kind of safeguard, if you like. :grin: Of course, you don't have to use any of that.

Wilwarin, what if your characters meet mine on our way to Gondor? I think, maybe, we'd be able to smuggle you into the city, or something like that. And it would be nice to interact with someone at last :).

Does anyone mind if Mel has... I gues we'd call it 'supernatural'... healing powers? I want to use it to heal Eowyn, who will come back wounded somehow, and then Faramir can give Mel her horse as a reward. Cos she doesn't like having to walk everywhere :).

[Elfdaughter]

hmm...well she can definately have strong elven healing powers....;)

[Melathwen]

Yes, I just meant something more than just a huge knowledge of herbs :). I won't really explain it much, unless you want me to, but basically, she uses hebs as a base and kind of... expands... on what they do. She can't do it on her own. Well, perhaps a little, but all the bigger things require herbs.

[Elfdaughter]

I know what you mean - well, elves are magic, aren't they? Perhaps her powers are just...more based around healing, rather than general magic...;)

[Melathwen]

Well, I posted it and described it as 'sinking', using the power of the hebs. So there we go. It could be a useful skill if there is a war coming :).

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

I need somone to interact with.

[Elfdaughter]

Hmm, why don't you make up another character?

[Kenzie]

Perpahs I could have Arwen come down to wherever it is that you are. (where are you exactly?Like a scroll room or somthing along those lines.) but i'm still with Nib and Farielle. We're lagging behind a bit so i'm going to cut our conversation short a bit, we need to get on with it. So give me a little bit of time legolas and perhaps we can work somthing out. ;)

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

got too many as it is, My guy is in Minis Tirith so if you come you are bound to bump into him.

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Lego: You don't need anyone to interact with...just explore your character and wait...

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

oki doke.

[Melathwen]

I'll be getting to Minas Tirith soon, so I'll be free to interact with people. Which is what I've been longing for. When I get there, someone please welcome me!!

Do you think we should go to Arwen and Aragorn straight away? I mean, Mel knows where to stay, so they could go to an inn first and then seek the King, or would the King want to know or what?

[Elfdaughter]

I'll be getting to Minas Tirith as well - Lachametar and Maethorvel will be heading there first. How about all the characters meet there?

[Melathwen]

Good idea, but how? Walking into one another? Because no one knows anyone else, so they can't exactly arrange a meeting, and don't suggest the Valar do that, because I do not think that the kind of thing they would do :)

Maybe we all arrive on the top courtyard to see the King, and Keluviel recognises you? After all, Elbereth sent her the vision, maybe she also showed Keluviel who the Maia were. Or maybe Kel just senses the rings.

Can Mel forge Melya before we meet the King, like, in the first few days she's there? She will already know a little of forging, since she was born in the First Age and she learned it there, so she won't need to learn too much. Keluviel had to learn from scratch. And I think that she should be able to sense hate as well as love, because that is the opposite, and that whoever bears the Ring of Light should be able to sense the Shadow (as in, orcs and other creatures of Morgoth, or Saruman). What do you all think?

[Elfdaughter]

hmm, yeah - the king could hold a court, and Lachametar and Maethorvel present themselves there.

[Melathwen]

And us and us!!

Would Lachametar or Keluviel give the warnings? Elbereth sent the vision to Kel and said that Kel should ask for Gondor's help, but Lachametar's a Maia, sent by the Valar. It's pretty pointless for both to give the same warnings.

[Tirithel]

Okay, recap for the slow people (ie Me ;) ) We have three elves coming in from the east that have met up with Faramir in Ithilien, and Eowyn is hurt. There are two of the Maiar from Valinor coming in from the West, and two Rangers and a Dwarf soming down from up north, right? And you all plan to convene in Minas Tirith soon? Can I make a little request? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze? :grin:

Can Mornie get there first? I ask because some stranger showing up at the doors when a bunch of elves and wizards are talking about evil rising up again is not going to get a warm welcome, ya know? (unless she looks like she has just escaped evil herself...hmmm, that could work too) Otherwise, she needs to have the trust of Arwen and Co. before everyone else arrives.

What do you all think?

[Wilwarin]

That's fine with me. It makes sense. My guys won't be getting there for a while yet since they're coming all the way from Rhûn.

Mel, our characters could meet if you like. I was hoping that we could meet someone else on the way. Though I was thinking that it would be good if Eithan was arrested by Faramir and taken to Gondor that way. Eithan is sentanced to be put to death if he ever enters Gondor. I kind of wanted something along those lines to happen to him—not be put to death! But to be arrested. Of course he will somehow be freed from it.

Which reminds me. I was kind of toying with the idea of a love interest for Eithan, maybe an elf maiden, or a woman of Gondor. Does anyone have any available elf maiden characters who would be interesteed? If not I could always creat one, but I thought it would be more fun it she was played by someone else.

Anyway, that's just an idea I had. I don't even have to go with it.

[Tirithel]

Does she have to be an elf? I have two Gondorian women: Anorwen and Uinen. Depending on what social class Eithan is mingling with (Anorwen is upper middle, similar to nobility, and Uinen is more working class), I'm sure one of them could fall for a rebel! ;)

[Wilwarin]

I just posted a really long one in the RP. Sorry, didn't mean for it to be that long.

Tiri, I suppose she could be a Gondorian woman. Have either of these characters been in the story yet? Do you have profiles for them that I could see? (Listen to me, I sound like Eithan's mother doing a background check on his latest girl friend! lol

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Do all the background checks you want! lol

'Twould be interesting to see Turgallon and Gonín speculate about what had come over Eithan... ;) :evilcool:

*am posting my fight piece...won't be nearly as long as Wil's*

[Melathwen]

Well, Kel is in love with Kelbar, but Eithan could still fall in love with her. However, Kel will never return his feelings. I want her to marry Kelbar :)

There is Mel, but I also have someone in mind for her to fall in love with, but no one has met him yet.

I think Kel will need a third Ring-bearer soon. I mean, third elf. She's in a hurry for Melya to be forged, so she would also be looking for the other ring to be forged. So, if anyone wants a new character, the elf would be a welcome one :). I think we decided that the elf should be male, but he doesn't have to be if one of you wants him to be female :). I will play him myself if no one else offers, but I would rather he was played by someone else. Do any of you know someone who could be interested in joining this RPG? Because if so, there's the perfect starter character :)

[Elfdaughter]

And us and us!!

Would Lachametar or Keluviel give the warnings? Elbereth sent the vision to Kel and said that Kel should ask for Gondor's help, but Lachametar's a Maia, sent by the Valar. It's pretty pointless for both to give the same warnings.

Hmm... I think Kel would defer over to the Maia - it would have more authority coming from them.

Unless you wanted to have a post with Kel giving the warnings, and then the Maia could step in to back her up?

[Melathwen]

Yes, maybe. If Kel were to begin, and then the Maia enter, having just arrived, and Kel lets them take over. Hmm, I like that idea :)

Well, I'm off to post now...

[Tirithel]

MmmKay...here's a name you all may recognize...

NAME: Anorwen
RACE: Woman
AGE: 19
DISCRIPTION: Tall, strong, slender. If not for the absense of pointy ears, she could very well pass outwardly for an elf. Chocolate brown hair trickled with blonde from the bleaching of the sun. Brown eyes, long face, warm tan skin. Piccie(though the scan quality is less than stellar): http://www.warofthering.net/pp321/showphoto.php?photo=393&password=&sort=1&cat=500&page=3

BIO: Oddly enough, Anorwen was born prolly right after the WotR. She is a cousin of Faramir, but since he moved to Ithilien with Eowyn, he may not have seen her since she was very little. Her mother died in child-birth( "...for strength that would have nourished the life of many had gone forth into Anorwen." ;) ) and her father is a sea-farer and often away. So, she stays in the palace and is kept by the King. She's smart, somewhat of a book-worm and well-learned. A "lady," so to speak, gracious, and knowledgable of the ways of the court, but down to earth and not afraid to get her hands dirty.

[Melathwen]

Nice. I especially like the picture. Introduce her introduce her!!! Can't wait!

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

kenzie my guy is on the top tier of the city underneath your house.

[Wilwarin]

Nice profile Tiri, and I like the picture. OK for those of you who don't know, Anorwen will be Eithan's love interest. So no need to fine anyone else. They won't meet until Eithan gets to Gondor though.

I go post now...

[Tirithel]

Legolas- I just re-read your profile for Tarias and figured that since he and Anorwen are the same age we might as well be friends, seeing as we're both 'in school' somewhat, ya know? :grin:

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

yeah definatly.

how about anorwen takes part in Tarius's uprising aswell, once the orcs invade???

[Tirithel]

I don't know...we'll see how it plays out. She's also supposed to fall for Eithan...she's gonna be a busy girl! lol

PS- Saruman, if you want to come floating out of the bushes or just talk to me [Mornie] out of nothing-ness, you've been adequately set up, I think. I've gotta go- I'm gonna be late for work! Ta ta! :waves:

[Melathwen]

ED, it's all very well telling me to choose quickly, but if there are no people willing to play the elf, I can't!! Someone, please be the missing elf!! Pretty Please?

[Elfdaughter]

lol...no, I know...but 'choose quickly' means don't take a year and a day doing it...lol Don't worry, as soon as you've found someone else to play them, it's OK...

[Melathwen]

Farielle, can you translate the elvish you posted? I don't know much elvish, and I don't know what that means, but I always like to learn more. :)

Is your character in love with Thalion? Because if she is, would you mind if Mel can sense that, and notice your presence? I think that would be a good way for us to meet :)

[Elfdaughter]

hmmmm........tell me if I'm wrong, but I think it's something along the lines of:

Thalion, love of my life, what have you been doing / what have you done? Where are you? Why...

I think that's right... it's Sindarin, anyway...

[Wilwarin]

Hmm, no it's not Sindarin. It looks more like Quenya to me, or at least it's Quenya-ish.
Or else they are words based on Elvish.

[Elfdaughter]

I think it's based on Quenya - I don't recognise some of the words, though they do have the quenya feel to them, now I think of it....

[Melathwen]

Well, it sounds like she loves him then... should I post that Mel can feel it?

[Wilwarin]

Wow, that hall's getting pretty crowded, lol How many people do we got in there now? Shouldn't one of the characters start coming up with some plans on what to do next? Like, shouldn't Aragorn respond to what the Maiar told him?

Just out of curiosoty, what DOES happen next? How do they find out that Saruman is the great evil they all sense? And how do they defeat him?

[Elfdaughter]

hmm...I think Aragorn should respond to the Maiar first...but I think the Maia could now that it's not Sauron - maybe his presence isn't evil enough?

[Saruman]

I was thinking that they wouldn't find out specifically who the evil Maia is, until he's done a bit of damage. lol

[Melathwen]

Yes, you could perhaps leave a sign for us, nice kind person that you are lol. Not something obvious, just something that may allow us to work out who you are :).

What is Aragorn's descision going to be? Because we could have him ignore the threat until it becomes apparent. Like, until Saruman actually does some damage. As if he's had enough of war, and by ignoring it, he thinks it will go away, and then something happens, and he can't ignore it any more. I think that would worry the Maia and Mel and Kel, and might make things a little more interesting... :evil:

[Elfdaughter]

Possibly - but do you think Aragorn would do that? Ignore it, I mean....

[Melathwen]

Perhaps. If he was so tired of war that he really didn't want any more so much that he refused to see it until it slapped him in the face.

[Kenzie]

all right are you guys telling me that you have all already showed up in minas tirith? Wow how many days were your characters traveling for? It seemed awfully fast, but then again i'm awfully behind. Aw well, It's all good ;)

I have alot of catching up to do, sorry for keeping you waiting.
My, you all have been quite busy. I don't mean to slow you down. I hate being the pokey one. lol I'll post an aragorn post for you all, before the end of the day.

I haven't read the RP yet, (i'm off to do that right now) but judging by what you are saying in here, i don't think that Aragorn would ignore somthing like that. Ecspecially not after he just heard similar warnings from rohan. Aragorns not that kind of guy to just push things aside.

[Wilwarin]

I thought so too. It seems like if he was visited by two elves bearing Rings of Power, plus two Maiar also bearing Rings, he would realize it was serious and not just ignore them, or hope that it all was just a big mistake. (Thoughts of Denethor begin to serface).

Welll, my character isn't in Minas Tirith yet, but he is just about to enter Osgiliath. I was wondering, is anyone playing Faramir, or is he open teritory? Eithan is supposed to be captured by Faramir and taken to Minas Tirith.

[Farielle of Lorien]

In the matter of Aragorn's decision, I agree with Kenzie and Elfdaughter. Aragorn isn't the type to push something like that aside. I don't think he would decided not to help.

(Btw, sorry I haven't been in her much.)

With the whole Thalion thing:

Elfdaughter- you are right about the translation. And it is based on Quenya. And in the future, I'll post the translation too. Sorry about that!

Mel- Naethwen was in love with Thalion and in many ways still is. However, Thalion died during the battle for Middle Earth at the end of the Third Age. Despite that, your character should still be able to sense the love Naethwen has for Thalion.

[Elfdaughter]

OK, thanks for clearing that uip! lol....right, I've posted another very long post, I'm afraid.....lol basically, I've had Aragorn very grave and worried, and thinking on it overnight - then hold another council tomorrow in the evening.

[Melathwen]

Ok, well it was just an idea, but in review, I think it's better that he not ignore it :)

I like your idea of waiting until tomorrow to decide, ED, that relieves the pressure a bit.

[Elfdaughter]

Yeah, it gives the characters time to think things through.

[Kenzie]

yep, great idea ED

Now that i'm all caught up, if it's all right with you all, I could RP for Aragorn as well, seeing as he's pretty important in the deciding of things, and Arwen's always interacting with him anyway.

[Elfdaughter]

That'ss good!! Saves me having to do all the work!!!lol

[Wilwarin]

I guess no one saw my above question, on whether or not Faramir was being played by anyone. I'm going to have Eithan interacting with him in my next post though, so if anyone is playing him please pardon me stepping on your toes a bit.

[Farielle of Lorien]

oops, sorry wilwarin. I don't think anyone is actually playing faramir, though.

[Wilwarin]

Alright, just checking. :)

But Kenzie, now that you're playing Aragorn, you'll have to see Eithan and either listen to what he has to say or not. But whatever happens, Eithan should be put in prison with a death sentance for some time later.

[Kenzie]

I'll make sure I do Wil! ;)
Must I post a character profile? I'll make it brief.

Name: Aragorn son of Arathorn, King Elessar, Elfstone, Estel, Strider ect...
Age: 107
Appearence: Tall in stature,with square and sturdy shoulders. Gray eyes and dark brown hair that to falls shoulder length.
Background: Sent to live with the elves of Rivendell with hismother Gilrean and raised under Elrond. Then lived with the rangers of the north, his kin. Traveled much of ME during this time, and studdied under Gandalf. Joined the Fellowship of the ring. Was crowned as the king of gondor and wed Arwen after the war of the ring. Now has one heir Eldarion.
Weapons: Anduril, flame of the west, forged from the shards of Narsil. Has superior skill with the sword, and limited with a bow.

[Tirithel]

Saruman/Wil- I've been doing some thinking on how Mornie's going to get into Minas Tirith and how she's going to get into the upper ranks. Wilwarin, when Faramir is transporting Eithan to Minas Tirith for judgement, would you mind having him stumble over a cut-up (mornie, haveing fought many battles, could know where she could stab herself but good without killing herself), half-dead (Saruman could be a fail-safe and sustain her with magic should she bleed to death) farm-woman with long black hair (Saruman can also transform her clothes and appearance to suit) just lying in the path with a basket full of farmery stuff (that also happens to include Saruman's lil' box)? I mean, if that's not a call to charity then what is? Eithan will of course think that she'd been attacked by orcs and immediately sound off about it, and Faramir will wrap her in a cloak, put her on his horse and have her admitted into the palace for treatment. Bingo- evil scores! :flamer:

lol...no, I know...but 'choose quickly' means don't take a year and a day doing it...lol Don't worry, as soon as you've found someone else to play them, it's OK...
I've also got this kind of weak idea and I don't know if it would work or not, but if so it'd definitely be a point for the dark side, heh heh heh. What if Mornie ended up with one of the rings? Perhaps, sensing the power (that of course is originating from Saruman) around her, Melathwen presents her with a ring, misreading her coming as a sign of fate or some goofy thing like that. :huh: Like I said, this is a weak idea and if you all don't think it would work then PLEASE say no. I'm just spouting ideas here...(must've been all the coffee I drank tonight :p )

This reminds me of something else too- I promise I'll shut up after this- from Melathwen's posts about Melya, it sounds like she would be able to sense the 'darkness' in Mornie and this presents a problem for my very evil and very ambitious character. Any ideas? (Though her own ring would very conveniently solve that problem :grin: )

[Saruman]

That is a good idea to get her in, and since Faramir's a good Samaritan, he'd probably do that! lol

[Melathwen]

Have a post where Mel gets suspicious of you , and then AVOID ME!!!!

If Mornie does get a ring, she will need to fight for good eventually, otherwise we won't win. All five rings will be needed to win the fight :)

However, if you want Mornie to be that kind of person, sure, she can have a ring. I'm not sure it will hide her character from Mel, though. And it would be Keluviel who chooses, not Mel, btw.

OK, I asked kenzie if I could do this, and she said yes, so now I'm asking the rest of you. Would any of you mind if Mel falls in love with Legolas and he with her? Since he isn't actually played by anyone, although I would like it if someone else did play him, it's more intersting that way :)

I'm also slightly confused. Is it night, or morning, or what? And on what day? Everyone seems to post as a different time of day, which was no problem while we were all separate, but now we're in the same place, it's confusing.

[Elfdaughter]

Well, I'm leaving posting until Mornie gets into the city, and then we can post our characters doing stuff properly. The only think is, the Maiar will get suspicious of Mornie too though - they'd be able to sense the evil as well...

[Melathwen]

How do we get around that? Obviously, she'll have to keep Saruman as far away from them as possible, because there is no way he'd be able to hide his evil. Perhaps Mornie is not so evil as to occasion comment from them. Like, maybe they think she committed murder, or something like that. Murder on a large scale, because things like that were not uncommon, I think. So, they whisper among themselves, but by the time they decide to speal out, she already has Aragorn's trust, and he cannot believe she is as evil as they say? Or something like that, I really don't know. It's just an idea.

[Wilwarin]

Tirithel, would you like to show Mornie cutting herself before Eithan and Faramir come along? Or do you want to explain her appearance later, after they find her? I was going to post, but I thought I would just make sure first. Great idea by the way.

[Legolas of Mirkwood]

I'm not exactly sure whats going on, i dunno which posts i've read or havn't read, can somone tell me what the situation is at the moment

[Kenzie]

How do we get around that? Obviously, she'll have to keep Saruman as far away from them as possible, because there is no way he'd be able to hide his evil. Perhaps Mornie is not so evil as to occasion comment from them. Like, maybe they think she committed murder, or something like that.

Or something like that, I really don't know. It's just an idea.

that sounds good, but don't forget that the trust of the people is just as important, if not more than Aragorn's, seeing as how Sarumans plan is to turn the poeple against their king. ;)

[Melathwen]

Yes, I meant that the Maia and Mel and Kel can sense the evil. That was the question raised, by ED, I think it was. It stands to reason that the Maia and those with rings can sense Mornie's evil, and ED asked how we could avoid that, because that would set suspicion on her head and defeat the whole object. What I posted was merely a suggestion of a possible way to get around that. Does that all make sense?

[Kenzie]

Yes I got that, I was simply making a reminder, as you had just said somthing about gaining Aragorns trust in your last line.
Thank you though. ;)

[Elfdaughter]

But I have another question. Sorry!!! Is Aragorn likely to turn aside the advice of the ringbearers? If they sesnse she's evil, won't he listen to them?

[Wilwarin]

All right Tirithel, your turn now. I just went ahead and posted. Perhaps Mornie could wake up in the Houses of Healing, then we could go from there.
Also, perhaps you could have Anorwen see Eithan being brought into the city now, and she is interested to find out who he is and why he is being imprisoned. Keep in mind though, that when Eithan was banished Anorwen was just a little girl, so she probably wouldn't know who he is or anything about him. Don't go visit him in the prison though until I give you the que.

Kenzie, Eithan is on is way to the Minas Tirith prison now. At any time you can have Aragorn informed and have him decide what to do. I know he has a lot on his mind right now, but he might consider it a personal concern, since Eithan had betrayed his trust many years ago. I will PM you more detail about that.

As for everyone's trust of Mornie, the Ring Bearers would definitely sense something is not right with her, even if they can't pinpoint it. I can't imagine that Aragorn would ignore their advice either. Maybe Mornie could just seem so innocent, and have a very convincing story, about how she had suffered or whatever. Perhaps she had abusive parents or something. Anything to give her a signature of evil, but it can be explained away as no fault of her own. Or, on a completely different thread, maybe the Ring Bearers don't even sense anything from her at all. Perhaps she is able to hide it well enough. After all, Gandalf was a Ring Bearer and a Maia, and he could not sense that Saruman had turned to evil.
Just my take on things. I'll quit talking now as this is getting excessively long.

[Kenzie]

yhea on that second thread you were going on Wil: Mornie could be good at disguising it, and Saruman can also help her. He may be able to mask some of his/her wickedness, like he did with gandalf, as will said. ;)

[Elfdaughter]

True. OK, I'll go with that - mornie can mask it with Saruman's help. OK, I'm happy! lol

[Tirithel]

Thank God you guys figured that out cuz I was at a total loss...Way to go Wil and Kenz! :rock: Okay, I'm off to post now...:grin:

EDIT: It's done...Mornie's made a fair mess of herself and Anorwen's spotted Eithan entering the city. I couldn't think of a feasible way for Anorwen to be at the gate when they were brought in, so, well, yeah. But at least she's seen him.

Wil, I think that having sustained the wounds she has, Mornie will most likely sleep through the day. If you want to post something for Faramir presenting Eithan for judgement (where Anorwen will be listening from behind her trusty pillar ;)) and then making his way back down to the HoH in the afternoon to speak with Mornie and find out who she is and all that (I can't wait for you guys to hear the sob-story I've got cooked up :whoohoo: lol ), that'd work. What do you think?

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Turgallon and the Dwarf will be entering the city soon...

I'll have them wonder around near the palace for most of a day, and then stay at an inn nearby...

[Wilwarin]

Oh, so am I playing Faramir now? Well OK, I might as well ;)

All right Tirith, But I can't post that until Aragorn has Eithan brought in, and he won't do that until the next day either, since he wants some time to think about what the Maiar have told him. So it looks like my characters are out of the picture until the next day. All except Gónin that is. I think I'll go post for him now. I might also describe Eithan's new accommodations ;)

[Melathwen]

OK, I've just posted it as the day after the elves and Maia arrived, but if that's wrong we'll have to change it. My time sense has been completely screwed.

That was rather eventful. Mel has a lot to thank Lachametar for :)

Here's a small idea for Eithan's fate: If the elves and Maia were to arrive while Aragorn is judging Eithan, maybe Mel could sense that he has a good heart, and her conviction will be enough to sway Aragorn? Or at any rate, perhaps the elves and/or Maia could prevent Aragorn from killing him. Somehow :) Just an idea.

[Elfdaughter]

hehe! No probs! Urmm... might have a newbie coming to play Maethorvel for me - gives me someone to interact with......


Hmm, I like that Idea, Mel. I'll see if I get the newbie signed up, and that could be his first post..... just an idea.

[Dante]

Erm... *looks around nervously*
I... am... that newbie lol
I think I've got a bit of time, deffy wanna play ^__^

[Wilwarin]

Here's a small idea for Eithan's fate: If the elves and Maia were to arrive while Aragorn is judging Eithan, maybe Mel could sense that he has a good heart, and her conviction will be enough to sway Aragorn? Or at any rate, perhaps the elves and/or Maia could prevent Aragorn from killing him. Somehow :) Just an idea.

That is an idea. But we were going to have Anorwen convince Aragorn not to kill him, because by then she will have talked with Eithan and heard his story, so she knows he has repented of his wrong doing. But perhaps one of the Maia could be there when she talks to Aragorn? Then he/she could put more weight behind Anorwen's words. Just another idea :)

Hey there Dante! Welcome aboard!

[Melathwen]

Oh. :blush: I hadn't realised Anorwen was going to do that. Well, yes, I think Wil's idea makes more sense.

Hey Dante, great to see you! Are you going to play Maethorval, or a new character? Because I really want an elf! You see, we need another ring bearer and I really don't want to play them myself, but so far no one has been forthcoming to play them. :(

[Elfdaughter]

hehehe! He says he could do either... yes, he's pathetic with descions.....lol ;)

[Kenzie]

Hey dante! Welcome ;)

Alright Fairelle and Nib, i just suggested that our characters go the houses of healing to check out Mornie. It's up to you two.

Alrighty so it's afternoon RPG time correct? I think some of us are on different days, but we'll just say we're all on the same one, it makes it much less complicated and it doesn't change the storyline.

So are we having this 'council' before or after Aragorn seeks out Eithan?

[Wilwarin]

Well, I heard that it was going to be before. But I wonder if he might not just want to get it overwith, because after the council he might not feel up to it. And Eithan (an me!) will start getting tired of sitting in that prison cell.
Aragorn did say he wold see Eithan 'tomorrow', well, it's tomorrow now. I say he gets it overwith, then calls the council.
Just remember, Aragorn can't be swayed to free Eithan until after Anorwen pleads with him.

[Kenzie]

hhmm yhea, I see your point. We'll do that then. The only thing is that i think Tirithel should do an Anorwen post before Aragorn goes to Eithan. Anorwen needs to hear his story first before she speaks out agianst the kings jugment in sentencing Eithan.

[Wilwarin]

Oh really? I thought it was going to go like this:

- Aragorn has Eithan brought before him in the great hall. Anorwen is hiding nearby and hears everything they say. They don't actually tell Eithan's whole story though.
- Aragorn has no mercy on Eithan and has him returned to his cell with the sentance of death by hanging in three days.
- Anorwen is intrigued by Eithan, so she goes to visit him in prison, where he ends up telling her his whole story. After which, Anorwen is convinced Eithan doesn't deserve death.
- So Anorwen then goes to the king and pleads for Eithan's life. The Maiar may or may not decided to back up her argument.
- So Aragorn eventually has Eithan freed and cleared of all charges.

Does that make sense? You see, it's Anorwen hearing the confrentation and Eithan's fate that makes her want to visit him in prison. I don't think she would do it otherwise. At least, that's my take on things.

[Melathwen]

I thought (although I'm not sure why) that the Maia (and/or elves) would interrupt the thing with Eithan for Aragorn's decision on the help he will give. Or accept...

OK, does it sound like I'm the teeniest but confused? lol :blush:

[Wilwarin]

Just the teeniets bit (though I think it might be rubbing off on me! lol )

They could interupt. Then that could be the reason why Aragorn can't listen to all of Eithan pleas for pardon. So then maybe Aragorn just has him sentanced to death and taken back to his cell. If the Maia question Aragorn he could just say that it is an old conflict that is finally going to be resolved. Then they have their council. And later Anorwen visits Eithan.

Does this make sense? Or am I just adding to the confusion here? :p

[Melathwen]

I think it makes sense. And then perhaps Anorwen could go to the Maia to ask if they will help her plea for his life.. thinking that their thoughts (or something...) would have more weight than hers. But they aren't even my characters, so I have no idea why I'm saying this :) Just ideas, anyway...

[Kenzie]

ah ha! i got you Wil! Okay yhea, that sounds good! We can put that into action as soon as somone else posts so i'm not double posting. ;)

Mel- Yes you're correct about thinking that the maia and elves would interrupt Aragorns sentencing. It was a great idea, but i think this one may run a little more smoothly as it has less people involved and easier to get us all at the same place and time. The maia are perhaps better able to determine whether he his guilty or not, but Anorwen is also a trusted friend to to Aragorn and Arwen, and she is also going to speak with Eithan first before consulting Aragorn. I think that her opinion on the matter in this case would be just as great in Aragorn's mind as that of the ringbearers.

[Melathwen]

And then we can enter as Eithan is taken away? Just to get our curiosity up... ;)

[Wilwarin]

OK. But I wonder if the Maiar should not be involved in Eithan's fate. It seems like they would not consern themselves in dealing with common criminals. They would let the king handle it. And would Anorwen really beg for their help? They don't even know who she is, or who Eithan is. It seems like Anorwen's word alone should be enough, since she is close to the king and he trusts her and will listen to what she has to say. (Though not without some small debate of course ;) )

[Tirithel]

Sounds bee-u-tee-ful! :thumbs: I may not be able to post for both characters right now...gotta be to work in about 45 minutes pfbbt But I'll defo get on when I get home and catch up...sorry to slow you guys down!

And if there's confusion on time scheme, here's my take on it:

Day 1: Mornie awakens
Day 2: Maiar/ Keluviel & Co. arrive in Minas Tirith, Anorwen spies on Maiar, Mornie meets with Saruman, Faramir captures Eithan
Day 3: MORNING: Mornie enters Minas Tirith along with Eithan and Faramir, ANorwen spies on Eithan arriving AFTERNOON: Characters visit Mornie in HoH
Day 4: The judgement of Eithan AFTERNOON: Council of Aragorn, ANorwen meets Eithan

I can add to/edit this as you guys see fit...hope it helps somewhat! :)

PS welcome aboard Dante! Glad to have you with us! :)

[Wilwarin]

Hey looks great! But also add the council meeting in day 4. It would be after the judgement of Eithan.

[Melathwen]

Yep, that helps :) Thanks, Tiri :) But, which of those days are we on now?

Wil, you're making more sense than I am :) I'm good to go with your idea. Not that it really concerns me, anyway... :)

[Wilwarin]

Well, at least it's there for those it does concern.
Hear that Kenz? ;)

[Dante]

Hey Dante, great to see you! Are you going to play Maethorval, or a new character? Because I really want an elf! You see, we need another ring bearer and I really don't want to play them myself, but so far no one has been forthcoming to play them. :(

Hiya, thanks all for the welcomes everyone *waves*

Think I'm gonna stick with Maethorval for now, although playing an elf char really appeals to me, if I get enough time (rare) I'll create one as a ring bearer for ya. :rolleyes:

[Elfdaughter]

Hey Dante! Cool, You're playing Maethorvel!

[Farielle of Lorien]

Wow, leave for 24 hours, and you guys are already way ahead of me! I'll have to keep up!

Nibinaraniel and I have an agreement. I'm going to play another character besides Naethwen for a short time, a random deserter soldier who tries to take Nib's life, but ends up getting killed. Just letting you know... ;)

[Elfdaughter]

Cool!!!! Sounds good.

[Kenzie]

loud and clear Wil ;)
Mel- it is the afternoon of the third day.

Sounds cool Nib and Farielle. You should post a character profile for him though.

[Farielle of Lorien]

If you want me too I will, but he really doesn't have much of an identity. He's just a random, short-lived (literally) character.

But now that I think about it, he will have to have a name sooner or later, if only for refernce when he dies. Any ideas? I'm horrible with anything but elven names, and I'm not even very good at those... lol

[Elfdaughter]

hmmm.....Tàbailt? (strong) Boghadair? (archer/bowman) (these are Gaelic, by the way) And how's he going to die? I've had the Maiar sensing the danger, but that's it. Is Nib going to kill him? Arwen?

[Wilwarin]

Or in Sindarin, 'archer/bowman' is Cúnan.

[Tirithel]

TIRI'S TIP FOR NAMING CHARACTERS, SHORT OF JUSK TAKING THE EASY WAY AND ASKING WILWARIN: (lol)

Check the indices of the Sil. Not only are there plenty of ready-made names, but you can just jam a few of the elvish words together in a way that sounds cool. :thumbs:

Okay, and as self appointed secretary of this RP ( :rolleyes: ) just to straighten up this whole cornfuzzled time thing, is it okay with everyone if I set Day 3 equal to Saturday Cuz I wrote the last Anorwen post with the premise that it was a day for leisure...so Saturday sort of works for me...anyone got any comments? Tolkien references for accuracy? Good recipes for pita bread? Anything...:huh: So, anyways, if this works, we can now reference the RP to a time table to get an idea of which events are happening at the same time and in what relation to eachother and blah blah blah...you get the idea. :grin:

Oh yeah, one other thing: I came up with a solution for the whole "I hate digging for character profiles" vs. "We don't need another thread so deal with it" thing. :bravo: I've got all the profiles posted in this thread copied and pasted to a notepad doc and listed under the people that play them. I was thinking of just editing the list into the initial thread post (to make it easy to find), but it's a loooooooooong list and I don't want to blow anything up or break anything (I've done it before and do NOT want a repeat...*shudder* ) Dawn, you've been doing this stuff longer than I have, whaddya think? I was gonna test it in the playground but, alas, I am not registered as a mod in that forum anymore...:huh:

[Kenzie]

Awww thanks so much Tiri for your efforts, you deserve a cookie.
Yep, i'm all right with the saterday thing.

Fari & Nib - Were you two planning on somone getting hurt hurt? I don't want to disrupt plans. :nono: lol

[Wilwarin]

Are they going to visit Mornie any time soon? I'm here, but I can't post because none of my characters are doing anything! lol
Ah well, Faramir is still in the HoH with Mornie. Oh! I could post for him! :) I go now...

[Farielle of Lorien]

I'm not sure if Nib intended to get hurt, which is why I really can't do much more right now until she posts again. I'll do what I can to keep it moving though.

As for the names, I like Cúnan.

Here's his basic info:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name: Cúnan
Age: 27
Race: Man of Gondor

Bio: A soldier in the Gondorian army that has deserted and now serves an unkown evil master. He has been assigned to attack and kill the Lady Nibinaraniel.

Appearance: Black hair and blue eyes. He has a thin scar running down the right side of his face. He is usually covered by a black cape and has his hood up.

Weapon: A black bow made in the style of Orc weapons and a short dagger.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, that's about it. I'm going to post now, or at least try to, ;)

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Tirith: Not very much longer than you. lol

I would like it if we would just leave the thread the way it is. Now, there is this really cool feature called 'search thread' at the top of every page...Just do a search for the character name.

It's really fun. ;)

[Wilwarin]

I copied and pasted all of the character profiles into a doc that I keep on my desktop for reference. I look at it every once in a while.

[Nibinaraniel]

Ok, Someone has to find him, Nib's out for a bit.

[Saruman]

I have heard that Saruman is mustering armies far greater that the orcs.
No one except Mornie and the Orcs knows that Saruman's still alive. lol Did you perhaps mean the character in Mordor?

[Farielle of Lorien]

Naethwen's off to get the assassin now. She's asked for faramir to come, but anyone can.

[Wilwarin]

All right, now that Faramir has this man in his cusdody, what is he supposed to do with him?

Oh and by the way, Legolas's charcter is spelled "Tarias", not "Tarius", just so you all know. It's Sindarin, not Latin. lol

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

There's difference? lol

I'll try to post the two mis-matched heroes sneaking into a tavern on Saturday.

[Kenzie]

All righty, i noticed the saruman thing too. I posted somthing in response to that, the mistake will just add to the surprise when we find out it is really him.

Hey, i was just copying the spelling LoM posted. Aww well it's pretty close i guess. ;)

[Melathwen]

As long as everyone knows who you mean, I don't think it matters too much ;)

Are we still on day 3? Or have we moved to day 4 yet?

[Kenzie]

We're still on day three. It's about dinner time i would say.
-Nib is in the houses of healing along with Arwen and Mornie.
-Cúnan is now in the possesion of Faramir and naethwen is with them.
-Your characters have just finished with dinner.
-And aragorn just left Tarius (or Tarais, however we're spelling it) to go back to the citadel. And Anorwen is about to meet up with Tarius.
-Eithan is still in his cell in the dungeons.
-And Turgallon and Gónin have managed to get into the city and are currently in an allyway. (and soon to be ina tavern as dawn just said)

At least i'm pretty sure thats all, am i missing anyone?
